Talking Pencils and Eel Rod

I'm looking for some recommendations for a 10' 2-peice (unfortunate but that's what I need since I live in a condo and drive a pickup) for throwing pencil poppers and eels. I use an all-star 1145-2 for most of my plugging and love it with bombers, small-medium wood swimmers (<2.5 oz), and needles up to 2.5 oz but feel like something with a little slower action would be better with pencils and eels. I use an 1201-2m for my big wood.

I'm thinking about a 1201-2L and was just curious what you guys thought of that blank. What does it max out in for weight also?

Thanks for any input.

The GSB1201L (1 piece) is sweet, dunno about the 2 pc model, but I have the 1 pc and it's great for poppers and eels. I'm sure alot of guys would agree that it's a great blank.

Allstar 1265/2 great for 1 to 3 OZ. 2 pieces. Nice action for pencil poppers , be sure to wring ferrel together well oe whipping the tip for pencil poppers will be trouble for a two piecer. No problem if you put the two halfs together properly.
